Born in 1974, Erlend Tait grew up in the north of Scotland and received his BA Hons in Fine Art from Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen, where he specialised in Drawing and Painting. He then spent seven years working in Edinburgh at one of Scotland’s leading stained glass studios learning the ancient techniques of the glass painter-stainer. Following this he returned to the Highlands to concentrate on his own practice.

Erlend exhibits his drawings, paintings and stained glass internationally and is included in numerous collections around the world. He lives on the Black Isle with his wife, the artist, Pamela Tait, with whom he also collaborates and exhibits regularly.
